[OSGeo Africa] Fwd: Changing IT curriculum to Delphi: online petition

[Adi Eyal]

Hi All

Apologies for the spam. Following the heated discussions on these mailing
lists and the subsequent meeting at the Cape Town Chamber of Commerce, an
online petition has been  created to petition the use of Delphi in schools.
Personally, I object to the use of MS Office and would prefer a petition
against the use of proprietary software in schools in general but this is a
good start. In reality, this may not result in any real change. It is
important, that as a community, we raise our voices against a poorly made
policy decision that has far reaching repercussions.

I am of course assuming that you disagree with the policy. If you don't, I
apologise in advance. Feel free to call me a communist or whatever you
think is an appropriate insult. If you're a communist, I apologise in
advance.

Regards
Adi

Dear All

I’ve just signed the petition "Re-evaluate the implementation plan for
standardising to Delphi over Java" on Change.org.

It's important. Please also consider signing it. ****
